What is the Gaza war costing us?
Oped, Abdullah Gül, Published on 27/08/2025
» As the horrors in Gaza continue, owing to the lack of any plan to end the violence, it is necessary to ask what the costs will be, not just regionally but globally.

News, Chartchai Parasuk, Published on 12/12/2024
» I am known for being pessimistic about the Thai economy. Apart from encouraging official economic growth figures of 1.6% in Q1, 2.2% in Q2, and 3.0% in Q3, I do not think anyone can be optimistic about the economy. It is obvious that GDP data and the actual economic situation do not go hand in hand. It is beyond my comprehension that the non-performing loan (NPL) level rose 14.1% in Q3 while the economy expanded 3.0%. Shouldn't it be the opposite when debtor's income rises?

Time for action on low birth rate crisis
Oped, Somchai Jitsuchon, Published on 25/10/2023
» While changes in the criteria determining who is eligible for the old-age allowance by the outgoing Prayut Chan-o-cha government caused a stir, the issue of a low birth rate -- another important aspect of Thailand's aged society -- has not been discussed much.
